The Power of Trees: How Ancient Forests Can Save Us If We Let Them
Peter Wohlleben (Author) Jane Billinghurst (Editor)
“The Power of Trees sends a powerful message that humankind will not survive unless we revolutionize the way we conserve and manage our planet’s dwindling forests. Through eye-opening stories, Wohlleben underscores how trees and the biodiversity of the natural world present us with critically important solutions to the climate crisis. [It is an important wakeup call for individuals and large-scale forest managers alike!]”
–Jeffrey Horowitz, founder of Avoided Deforestation Partners and founding trustee of the Jane Goodall Legacy Foundation
